It also keeps identifying a Norton dll as nasty :( I added it to the ignore list.

I have been using Ad Aware for a Long time and I loves it but, this new one told me that Cscore.dll was a comet cursor.

It is actually belonging to Norton Cleansweep. I put it on ignore and I have Nothing on the beastie now. :)

Ad Aware is a great program. I've used it for a while and really like it.

I use it all the time on both my XP and 98SE computers. It hasn't messed up any programs that I'm aware of.
